So here are 20 of the greatest screenwriters of all time.
Notable screenwriters have constantly redefined how films are structured and how the cinematic language can be put to better, more efficient use by constant experimentation. The path can be changed during filming and in editing but the journey begins with the script. The actual production and post-production gives leeway to discover new stylistic approaches to the attaining the goals defined in the screenplay.Īnd yet, the foundation of a great film is more often than not, rooted in a screenplay. Of course, many alterations are inherent to this transition, especially in cases where the director is not the screenwriter. The idea is translated into words, descriptions of atmospheres, moods, settings and other instructive mechanisms that then allow for a translation of this idea on the screen. The screenplay is the initiator, giving cinematic form to an idea that is born in the head of the screenwriter. That is where the screenplay comes in.įascinatingly, the filmmaking process works in reverse. But they must be complemented by a vision that controls their hold over our senses. The sound and the image are inextricably linked to these elements and form our first contact with the film. The way a story is told, an idea is explored and an artistic sensibility is expressed determines, to a large extent, our personal preferences when it comes to films. As we view a cinematic work, elements like narrative and plot structuring are indispensible to our judgment of it, even if we don’t notice their relevance right away.
